Best Guaranteed Multi?

I'd like to take a few days (as few as possible) off from work to get my multi-commercial. I've been browsing the accelerated and guaranteed Multi ads and have been wondering who's the best. Anyone know of a program that can truly get you finished under $2000? I'm on a very tight budget.

If taking more time to do it at work or a local FBO was an option I would, but I work 6 days a week and it can be hard to get time off. I'll need to get this done asap so I can apply for a job that just opened up.

Thanks,
Chris
 
I had a couple of friends go to this place. Both finished in 3 days. Also if you were to fail a checkride they will retrain you for no further cost. However the examiner fee is not included. I think it is $400.

There was a guy there that had failed his checkride twice and had 25 hours so far. Still paid the same price as everyone else.

Guaranteed Multi-Engine Ratings: $1295.00 plus examiner fee.

P.S. I think they fly travelairs.

I did my Multi with a private individual who owned an Aztec. He charges by the hour but is very fair. I believe the price is 225 an hour then 350 for the examiner fee. It took me two days and 5 hours of flight time to prepare then another 1.6 for the checkride so it come out to be under two grand. This was near my hometown in tennessee. PM me for his number if your interested.

For what its worth, I did my multi commercial add-on training at one of these quick schools, and I really regret it. If I could go back in time, I would have gone elsewhere and not have been in such a rush. My experience was so bad because maintance SUCKED! The website led me to believe I would be getting 7 hours of multi time prior to the checkride, however, after reading the fine print it says "up to" 7 hours....I myself logged 2.9 in the Seneca prior to my checkride...In the end, did i pass? yes, first try...But the only reason I passed is because I was trained for nothing more than to beat their in house DE that they use numerous times a week. Nothing more, nothing less. Everything I know about multi engine flying is from outside experience and study I have done on my own. Like someone else mentioned, this school I attended for their two day program does in fact fail people on the rare occasion. I happen to know someone who failed very well, and let me tell you...It sounds nice to hear that all re-training costs will be covered, but at what expense? If you fail it may take over a month to fit you into their schedule. A lot of these schools are booked months ahead because of how quick they get your rating, and just because you fail, they aren't going to screw up a schedule of 40+ students over the next month to get you back in...

Just something to consider. I would never go back.

if you want the name of the school PM me.

Do the 5 day or 4 day multi course at ATPs. Its a good compromise between cramming and learning if you want to do it quick.
